Flenix

Hello all. I've had a HD Pro X for a while, and just got a good deal on a Flexitone III with a FBV Shortboard MKI. I checked multiple threads that said the board was compatible with my Pro X, so figured it was a good idea to use the board with my rack unit and keep the flexitone as a practice amp at home. However, it seems the FBV doesn't quite work as expected with the pro x. In order to change patches, I have to click one of the "Bank" pedals; even if the patch I'm switching to is in the same bank as my current patch - which means two pedals every time I want to change patches. By default (Without pressing bank), the 4 channel buttons are actually editing toggleable parameters in the patch; something I really don't need. Because of this, the channel lights also don't really show what channel I'm currently on, which is kind of annoying. I've tried using HD Pro X Edit, but it seems pretty useless. It doesn't have much ability to change what a footswitch does (Or even recognise official Line 6 footswitches, which I found odd) - instead it just lets you decide whether by default switches 1-8 are on, or off. Is there some sort of setting I'm missing somewhere that will resolve this? In an ideal world, I'd want channels 1-4 to change between channels 1-4 (or A-D as they're called on this amp), and preferably leave the other 4 (FS1-4 on the software, STOMP/MODULATION/DELAY/REVERB on the pedal) to be assignable. Any help appreciated, thanks :) EDIT: After lots and lots of searching, I finally found out it was a setting which can only be changed on the amp itself. It's one of very few settings, so I can only assume that was an oversight in developing the Pro X Edit software. Added this here for future people from the same problem. To fix, go into global settings on the unit itself, and there should be an option somewhere for footswitch control. You can switch it between FS5-8 and ABCD - you want ABCD to be able to change patches.

Hello all. I'm trying to set up my Pod HD pro alongside MainStage (OSX live performance software) so I can cut down the work of changing settings when playing live. MainStage has an option to send MIDI out when changing patches, sending a single PC message to a specified device/channel. It does this using a system called External Instruments, which you can tell it the device and channel to send to. I set this up, and initially it was working great, when I clicked the patch I'd set it up on it would send the corresponding PC message and change the Pod to the new sound. I added a second patch and could flick between the two, no problems at all. The issue came when I tried to add a second external instrument, for controlling other things. If there's no MIDI output set on there, it's fine, but as soon as I set the MIDI Out device on that second channel, the Pod totally stops responding to any interaction; MIDI or physical touching of dials. Sound is still produced fine, but it won't for example change patches. I have to reboot my entire mac for it to respond again (Just closing MainStage and then power cycling the unit doesn't do anything) I checked in MIDI Monitor and this new output isn't sending any data whatsoever at the time the issue comes up, so I think it's a case of the pod getting confused as opposed to MS sending it confusing data. Has anyone else experienced anything like this, or could recommend a fix? Does the Pod have some sort of secret MIDI panic button I don't know about which would help resolve it without a full reboot?

Hey all. I've got a Relay G55, and recently started setting up a rack, so I'd like to mount it. When I bought it I was told you can get a rackmount kit. I've now found said kit - and it costs almost half the full price of the unit itself, for a glorified bit of metal. If I'd of known that I'd of just bought the G90 instead. That's ridiculous, being honest - especially as I've had nothing but good experience with Line 6 before. Has anyone come up with any alternatives? Open to any ideas, right now it'll be coming down to velcroing it to the unit below, and I'd rather not do that. I'm in the UK, the rack kit is 55gbp (80 USD) posted on the cheapest site I can find - Line 6 UK's support site links to the US store which doesn't ship here (shame, I'd (begrudgingly) pay 50 USD...) I'm willing to pay around half that to get it securely mounted, open to any ideas.
